Send a text message to the show!Earlier this week I was honored to be recognized as Riverside County Teacher of the Year. Out of 20,000 teachers, 4 are selected each year, so I’m still wrapping my head around the entire thing, but it’s incredibly exciting! @HeatherJustCreate wanted to spend this week’s live stream talking about my career teaching digital media. I thought it was a really great conversation, and I wanted to share the audio here as a podcast episode. So it is a little difference than normal, but I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!I’ve got a major case of Influenca, meaning that I’m sick of influencers. This past week saw the rise of a massive influencer campaign for a new photo/video product that I personally find overpriced and under-designed. Unfortunately, because so many reliable sources are pitching this product, I fear that many people may spend a lot of money on something that isn’t right for them. At the same time, “influencer marketing” is a fast growing segment of the economy and isn’t all evil, so how do we find a healthy balance? I don’t know, but I ramble about it for almost an hour, so check it out. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!After finding an AskReddit thread that took a deep dive into a lot of mental health issues faced by men that aren’t often talked about, I thought it would be a good idea to share my perspective, and add my voice to help show that it’s ok to be human and deal with tough issues. Even though this is mainly focused around “men’s” mental health, I’m sure a lot of the issues are pretty universal, and more than anything, I’m just in favor of people working to better understand themselves and be happy. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?

Send a text message to the show!In a world where “Hustle Culture” seems to be glorified more and more every day, I wanted to clarify a few things about the “Work Hard, Be Kind, Have Fun” slogan that I’ve been using for a number of years. I also wanted to tie that into my thoughts on the “C” word– Content. And how “content creator” can be a damaging term that devalues the thing you’re spending valuable time creating. 🎙Ready to start your own podcast?
